On the recordMay 8, 1996
The Fields amendment in that case would provide for two members, and in the case of a smaller number of board members it would be only one. So there is the potential for a larger number of people who are tenants to be on the board under the Fields amendment than there is under existing language of the bill. I am not arguing the point. It is not relevant to my State. It is going to be controversial in some States. This is a matter that the gentleman from Louisiana [Mr. Fields] and the gentleman from New York [Mr. Lazio] are going to have to work out.
